Do national offices really get that upset at big schools if a group is 20-30 under total? I'm talking if total is 160 and ABC is at 140 members. I can see nationals getting worried if it's a smaller campus and total is 75 and their local chapter is at 40-50 (where it's more noticeable).
Do people really get that petty with gossip? "OMG, everyone else has 170, but Beta Chi only has 140."

I don't think it's a matter of being upset. There are benchmarks that are used to determine the health of a chapter. Being at total is one of them. Chapters are encouraged to get to total, but unless a chapter is struggling, I don't think there is undue pressure to continue recruiting for minimal differences. You do have to keep in mind that falling 30 below total can quickly snowball if you aren't careful.
